I tend to approach these situations by trying to ensure the correct
procedures are followed. Otherwise you end up putting various checks and
steps in to cope with a failing part (humans) of a system. Could the
fallability of your operators be addressed? simple tools like signed-off
checklists and such have worked wonders for me in the past.

The way I did it was:
At the end of a day, I did a checkin of the volumes in the I/O and a
update
of the Access to ReadWrite, so the tape can be used another night.
So in stead of leaving the partly filled tapes in the I/O, I fill them
with
more data, and check them out the next morning by the new move drmedia.

Maurice

Subject: [ADSM-L] 3584 I/O port query
I have TSM server 5.2.3.0 and 3584 library with 10 slot
I/O
port. Have Atape
driver 8.4.8.0, going to 9.3.5.0. next week and TSM
server
5.2.5.0 (for new
LTO3 drives). Server platform is AIX 5.2.
My problem is that my Operators do not always process
tapes
back in correctly
through DRM. They will miss the "mode drmedia" command
on a
returning tape
then try to check it in. Of course they don't see
message
on TSM Console.
A tape will be left in I/O port and next day when they
check
out 10 tapes,
one is left in library as there are only 9 slots in I/O.
There are a couple of other ways tapes can get left or
forgotten.
I figure someone has a script to query the I/O port
(probably with tapeutil)
and send page/email to OPS if the count is greater than
0.
I can do the page part, just need to know how to query
in
script
and determine there are tapes in I/O port.
Thanks,
